I knew something was up when I got that sickening phone call from mom. I'm sorry but I know her better than that. There's no way that she was SOOoo excited about my wedding that she wanted all the details. You know, she'd be a great actress if she didn't overdo it so often. I had my suspicions about this whole thing but I couldn't prove it. I just figured that the further away I was gonna be from dad, the happier she will be. Which of course, is probably true too.
Tammy told me this evening that Mom had asked her "what she thought about all of this" basically meaning "are you as skeptical as I am?" type of thing. *big hugs to my sister for her response* "Mom, you always told us that if nothing else, you want us to be happy and if Jeff makes her happy, then more power to her."
It never fails. She will never believe that I can actually make decisions in my life that aren't going to turn out sour. And you know, it wouldn't be so bad if she actually talked to me about this, but she refuses to do that. She'd rather act so happy that it makes me feel like I'm about to choke myself on regurgitated dinner. Then she runs off to be skeptical about it behind my back.
Am I the only one that see's the disfunction of my family, here? I have a younger sister that just graduated highschool, smokes, drinks, does drugs, lies, and doesn't even know who the father of her unborn child is. Mom absolutely raves about her. I am a well adjusted 20 year old thats been out of high school for 2 years, has a full time job, supporting myself, hardly ever drinks and doesn't do drugs, looking forward to going back to school, and just got engaged to the most remarkable man on the face of the earth. This is the man that every parent dreams of their daughter having (other than the fact he isn't a doctor). Jeff is a hardworking, stable, romantic, sensible, and sensitive family man that doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs, who would do anything to keep me safe and happy in his arms for the rest of our lives. And she's skeptical about MY future?
